Lemon Dog Pt. 2

Lemon Dog’s Lucky Day Part 2 (Continued from part 1) Lemon Dog finds his keys and gets into his car…. On his way to the store he has to get through a long line of traffic. Luckily, his car is souped up and he gets through fast! When he gets to the grocery store he goes to the fruit and vegetable aisle. He looks at the shelf of beautiful, sexy, delicious lemons. He can tell they are loaded with lots of juice. He fills his shopping cart with 36,001 plump, juicy lemons. He pushes his cart up to the cashier in the check-out line. She is used to him buying lots of lemons but not thousands of them! She rings up his bill on the cash register and it totals $53,000,000. $53,000,000!!! “Oh No,” says Lemon Dog, “I don’t have enough cash!” Lemon Dog is very upset; he doesn’t know how to deal with it. But, it is his lucky day. The cashier has a crush on him. She thinks he is beautiful, sexy, and delicious. She says “I like you Lemon Dog. If you invite me to your party, I’ll make up the difference.” “Great,” says Lemon Dog, “you’re invited!” He pays $40,000,000 and she pays $13,000,000. Lemon Dog leaves with his lemons and gives the cashier his telephone number. “Call me!” he says as he smiles and leaves the store….
